Classroom Success Marks New Trend
“Throughout the United States conditions traditional to university life are changing rapidly. The emphasis is being switched from what might be called ‘campus life’ to classroom achievement. Tlie unprecedented influx of students makes it impossible to maintain certain intimate programs of college life and tends to narrow somewhat our outlook. When stress is laia^upon classroom
achievement, it is of course where it should be. On the other hand, there are many valuable opportunities afforded for the realization of social values which should be grasped.
“More and more has It come to be a rare privilege to attend college, if for no other reason than that college facilities can no longer be opened as freely to the applicant as heretofore; This year it is quit£ true* that for each one admitted there is another denied admission.
It is reasonable to ask them that all students make the very best use of the opportunities afforded them.
“May your experiences be rich and satisfying and may your success in achieving be accompanied by the real joy in accomplishment.”
Faithfully yours,

With the beginning of the winter term, the NROTC will get under way on Jfc peacetime footing, afler
Parking Task Posed for SC
With unprecendented enrollments aggravating SC's perennial parking problem, O. M. Chatburn, university business manager, has issued suggestions and warnings to students in an effort to alleviate the
situation.
'•We can line the lot and construct curbing between the lanes,” said Mr. Chatburn, “but only full cooperation on the part of the stu-credits ' dents will solve the problem.”
Students were asked to park straight within the lines which are being laid out in the parking lota. It was especially stressed that cars should not be left in the lanes, since many students must enter and leave the lots during the day.
The university administration has designated the parking lot behind Bridge hall entering from Exposition boulevard as the official faculty parking lo^. Full-time members of the staff may obtain parking permits in the reception room on the second floor of Owens hall. An attendant will be in charge of the parking area.
All students attending SC are! now privileged to seek exemption | from part or all of the requirements j in physical education by passing physical skills tests, which have been outlined by the physical ed- : ucation department.
Details of the skills tests have been released by Prof. W’illiam LaPorte of the physical education department together with the new | postwar plan for physical education requirements, effective September,
1946.
Sophomores, juniors, and senior who have not completed requirements in physical education activity courses may do so by selecting any courses for which they have the necessary' pre-requisites. They may seek exemption from part or all of the remainder of their require-| ment through skills tests 1 and 2, with the provision that they may not select for their skills tests any activities in which they have al-redy received course credit.
The war time classes, P. E. 7 and P. E. 8. have been dropped, but students not passing the skills tests will still have to meet the four-jmit university requirement. Tlie four units must include P. E. 1 and P. E.
2.
All veterans of World War II and students who are 25 or more years are exempt from all P E. requirements, btft may elect courses in phys^l education up to a maxi-nr Jfof eight units of credit.
As in others years, any student who, is •phywavily- unable to participate in P. E. may be exempt from part or all of the requirement upon recommendation by the student health service.
Students transferring from other institutions may be released from P. E. to the extent of one semester unit for each 15 units accepted for advance standing, with the understanding that such release will not be allowed for any semester for which subject or unit credit has been granted, and that such exemption will not reduce the total number of units required for graduation.
Any student may be exempt from P. E. 1, which constitutes one unit of the required courses, if he can pass skills test No. l — part A, proficiency on land <basic). This test, rill be given in all P. E. 1 classes during the first week of the semester and at other times, to be an- I nounced in the Daily Trojan.

Processing of Late-Comers Planned Today, Tomorrow
Surpassing all previous enrollment records by as yet undisclosed numbers, registration this week will wind up the processing of the largest number of students ever to trod the walks and lawns of Troy. •
Although school officials do not have complete facts and — | figures on the registration at this
time, guesstimates in the local city papers last week put down 14.000 as a possible enrollment figure with 8000 being veterans.
Late registration will take place today and tomorrow in the Physical Education building. No plans for registering after September 17 have been announced.
Howard Patmore, registrar, has issued the following information in regards to registration today and tomorrow:
Registration permits and all registration materials will be obtained in the lobby of the Physical Education building. Hoover street entrance.
Station 2. Health Office. 110 Physical Education building. Station 3. 207 Physical Education building, general advisors. Students registering in the Colleges o f Architecture, Commerce, or Engineering will have to go to^he office of the dean of ttfat division. Station 4. Verification of registration cards, dean of men and dean of women. 207 Physical Education building. Station 5. Payment of fees, 202 Physical Education building. Entrance to the building for all stations will be made through the front door. Hoover street, and not through the rear entrances.
Late f^"^>ation fees will be $3 for the 'first week after regular registration and $10 for the second week. It was announced by Mr Patmore that undergraduate students would be allowed to registe? late only if there is room available in the classes.
Due to the fact that the registrar's office has not yet been moved out of the Administration building, the following room changes have been made as announced in the adjoining box.
Neither quaffers nor rations will be provided for the train^s. and they will be subject to no dMcipline. except during their actual class periods.
Naval students will pursue study courses of their own choices with the exception of th^ naval science courses and the drill that is required. Only during actual drill periods and during inspections will the blues be worn.
There are two possible plans that those enrolling in the NROTC program may follow. The regular plan requires the men to commit themselves to serve two years in the navy after they receive th0ir commission. The cost of their tuition and books will be paid by the government and they will receive a retainer pay of $600 per year.
The contract plan, pays nothing to the enroliee until he reaches his junior and senior years, at which time he receives the equivalent of one ration per day. The contract students take one summer cruise during the courses of their training while the regular students take three cruises, one each summer.
Under the contract plan, when the trainee is graduated he is commissioned in the naval reserve. Tho.se who pursue their training in regular status will go directly into regular navy duty upon graduation.
Those eligible for . the NROTC training will include all men who were in the NROTC or the Marine V-12 training during the spring Continued on Page Four

Foyer Rebuilt As Cafeteria
To augment the Student Union cafeteria, the Fdyer of Town and Gown, situated at the rear of Hancock Foundation building, is now being rebuilt to serve hot foods to the entire student body between the hours of 7 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. and 5 to 7 p.m.
The foyer is being rebuilt entirely and will have a center counter and tables for more than 400 The counters were installed last week and the cafeteria is now ready for service, except for the plumbing.
Because of the shortage of both manpower and materials, it is impossible to say when the foyer will be opened. The material has had to be gathered in small amount3 from various sources.
Since there is a shortage of regular plumbers, general utility men were hired from the shipyards, but the shipyard workers went on strike,. Steamfitters were then employed to do the plumbing, but the steamfitters likewise struck.
While casting around for happy workers to finish the job, the regular plumbers are driving trucks to transport the material. When they can get it.
If workers and materials are found, the cafeteria may be open next Monday to relieve the congestion of the Student'Union.
Athletes Offered P.E. Class Credit
The physical education department wishes to clarify the requirements for credit in team athletics. All freshmen who wish to receive credit for participation ln football, track, baseball, basketball, tennis, or golf must be registered in P. 5. 47a or b.
Sophomores who desire credit in those sports must be registered in 4fla or b. Men who are taking other courses in the physical education department and wish to participate in one of the above activities, may do so, but they will receive no credit for iheir participation.
